Q1 2026 earnings beat

Downgrade -5 pp. Despite Q1 beat, Tan filed no Form 4. Stock doubled YoY (~$40 → ~$80 implied AH) — worst possible entry point for a first open-market buy. Pattern of abstention deeply entrenched at 13 months. Small DEF 14A / proxy tail remains.

Why This Question Matters

Tests compound risk #4 (person-dependency). Tan has filed zero Form 4s in 10+ months since his March 2025 appointment — an unusual absence of the 'new CEO alignment signal' for a Fortune 50 CEO. A first open-market purchase would materially upgrade moat-rebuild narrative confidence and lift GOVERNANCE_ALIGNMENT. Continued absence preserves the person-dependent-recovery concern where Tan is central but has not personally committed.

Tan has passed through multiple windows (post-IPO equity grant, post-Q1 2025, post-Q2, Q3, Q4 2025 earnings beats) without buying. Stock has doubled in a year — worst entry point for a first buy. Pattern strongly suggests he does not buy.

The longer Tan has not bought, the less likely he ever will. Behavioral pattern is now deeply established.

Eight months remain in 2026. Governance/proxy advisor pressure could force a buy during the proxy season. Small tail.

Low probability. Tan's prior non-purchases at much cheaper levels indicate low underlying propensity.

8 months of runway includes DEF 14A which could include newly-vested RSU-adjacent Form 4s (not qualifying) but also could trigger compensation committee-mandated open-market buy as part of reset.

Resolution Criteria

Resolves YES if Lip-Bu Tan files any Form 4 with SEC EDGAR between April 14, 2026 and December 31, 2026 disclosing an open-market purchase of INTC common stock (transaction code 'P'). Grants, RSU vesting, and 10b5-1 plan sales do not qualify. Resolves NO if no such Form 4 is filed by December 31, 2026.
